Finally, a news item with some taste

Thanks to Chase for sniffing
this out for me. He certainly has a nose for news.

? ANANOVA: Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

/Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay
healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.

Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said
people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier
and probably better in tune with their bodies.

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and
encourage children to take it up.

Dr Bischinger said: “With the finger you can get to places you just
can’t reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.

“And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of
strengthening the body’s immune system.”/
